I knew it had to happen maybe tomorrow, or day after tomorrow. It will surely going to happen. A Camera is becoming a basic need in a smartphone or i rather call it an entertainment phone.
with IPHONE missing a cut over all major MultiMedia Phones just due to the lack of a deccent camera and ofcourse the necessasity of a fully functional Bluetooth device. Nevertheless, saw this article on WIRED.COM.
According to a “well-connected Wired’s source,” Apple’s Chinese contractors are already churning out iPod touch units with integrated cameras and microphones. A classic rumor that may transform the smart media player into almost-an-iPhone, thanks Wi-Fi hotspots and 3G-to-Wi-Fi hubs.
According to Wired’s source, they will go on sale in “two to three months.” If I were AT&T, I would be very nervous about the prospect of Apple eventually gaining carrier independence with a 100% VoIP solution. The plot, boys and girls, is thickening.
If iPod Touches with cameras and microphones go on sale “in two to three months,” as our source expects them to (and which corresponds with our expected timeframe), they will transform the entertainment-oriented iPod Touch line into a voice communications tool wherever WiFi is available.
In addition to these voice-over-IP capabilities, which should have telephone providers quaking in their boots, the microphone (and camera) would enable the iPod Touch to understand voice commands, capture video and images, and work with a wider variety of programs in the App Store.
Well, the Rumour has it. Watch out for further updates regarding this progress.
